My new better "Firsrt time build" post.

[flashdude]

Ok now I know what to post so you guys can correctly give me information. Heres what I'm dealing with:
Budget: $500-600 canadian

What I am going to do with this computer: Not much hardcore stuff, just internet, music, web design (photoshop/flash stuff), and photos. So basiclly a media computer

What I don't need: Keyboard, monitor, mouse, case, only the computer itself.

Do I want a BEAST computer: Not really, I don't mind if it uses older components.

AMD or Intel: Well from what I have heard Intel seems to be the way to go.

So it would be helpful if you guys could give me a list of parts that if I bought would work together and work good.

I have some parts I would like to salvage but I'm not sure if I can, the HD and the PSU mainly, how can I check the version on the PSU cause someone said it needs to be version 2.0 .

Thanks.

You really shouldn't have started a new thread when you already had an existing first build thread going.

Yeah but people where saying that I didn't put the right info in it so I just started a new thread so everyone can see the right info.

This could be useful: Clicky

Not sure about the components though.
